There was a time in the US when inert grenades and demil’ed .50 cal rounds and other such fun items could be purchased at military surplus stores, which also sold US GI jungle boots at great prices after Vietnam ended, and lotsa ugly Warsaw Pact uniforms after 1989.
I fondly recall tossing an inert “pineapple” across the yard at my brothers, who refused to acknowledge the kill zone it should have had. They kept pointing their sticks at me and hollering, “Pew! Pew! Pew!” while saying I was hit with every shot.
It’s just a metal sphere with a screw-top. Unless there is a primer and an explosive charge, it’s less dangerous than a wrench. Unscrew the top and hold it upside down to make it safe.
